10th Sensors Webinar

Sensor Centric-Data Intense Approaches to Manufacturing Operations from Cradle to Grave

We are delighted to welcome you to participate in the webinar, entitled "Sensor-Centric Data-Intense Approaches to Manufacturing Operations from Cradle to Grave." The webinar will address various concepts, from developing and deploying smart sensors in your operations, to securely transferring the data generated from those sensors to the cloud for further analysis. Finally, we will introduce a world expert, who will discuss how the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), can be used to process the substantial amounts of data that your next-generation facility generates. These discussions will link the life of your data from creation/cradle to final cloud processing/grave. Furthermore, these same data might be critical for maintenance, process control, and warranty information, meaning the life of your manufacturing data extends well beyond the initial production cycle. We will wrap up with an engaging discussion about the benefits of sensor-centric data-intense manufacturing operations (and some opportunities that will necessitate pursuing them), and we will highlight and address some of the pitfalls and threats that may accompany this digital transformation.

Dr. Vincent Paquit

Dr. Vincent Paquit

Electrical and Electronics Systems Research (EESR) Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, USA;
Vincent Paquit is Section Head for Secure and Digital Manufacturing in the Manufacturing Science Division and Data Analytics Lead for the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Paquit joined ORNL in 2004 as a Research Assistant while studying for a PhD in Electrical Engineering at the University of Burgundy, France. His early research interests revolved around computer vision and image processing, such as 2D and 3D image segmentation, pattern recognition, remote sensing data interpretation, machine learning, multi- and hyper-spectral imaging, and algorithm development for GPU platforms. In recent years, he has taken on a leadership role in the development of the Data Analytics Framework for Advanced Manufacturing. This framework enhances the comprehension of manufacturing processes, enabling part qualification and certification, as well as process control and correction. Paquit's team actively contributed to the transformation of the MDF into a digital factory. This transformation involved capturing and analyzing digital threads associated with varied manufacturing technologies employed at the facility, spanning from design and modeling to simulation, material feedstock, and component fabrication and evaluation. Paquit's vision and leadership significantly influenced numerous projects and programs within ORNL, the DOE, and the DoD. With the support of the DOE Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO), his work has made a substantial impact in terms of advancing scientific knowledge and innovation in the field of digital manufacturing.
